Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount says he has nothing but “praise and gratitude” for Frank Lampard following his sacking as manager.

As the Blues begin life under new boss Thomas Tuchel, Mount paid a warm tribute to Lampard, the man who took him on loan to Derby, handed him his Chelsea debut and made him captain for his final game in charge.
